Garnish the plate with salad leaves and a lemon wedge.

Blend hazelnuts, parmesan, lemon zest, and thyme in a food processor into fine crumbs.

Flatten the chicken between greaseproof paper using a rolling pin until 1cm thick.

Fry chicken in melted butter for five minutes per side until golden-brown while basting.

Drain chicken on kitchen paper and sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese.

Serve the chicken drizzled with pan butter and a squeeze of lemon juice.
